- Reheat: For crispy fries, reheat them in the oven at 350 degrees F for five to seven minutes.
Are sweet potatoes healthy?
Just one cup of sweet potato has more than 100% of your recommended daily value of vitamin A, 65% of vitamin C, 50% of manganese, 29% of vitamin B6, and 27% of potassium. These tasty vegetables also have antioxidants, protein, and fiber, and they have fewer calories than white potatoes.
Should I soak my potatoes before air frying?
Yes, it is important to soak your sweet potato wedges in cold water for at least 30 minutes but longer is better, up to eight hours. This helps get rid of the excess starch that can cause them to be soggy. After soaking, drain them and pat them with a paper towel to dry them.
